Chapter 52: Mysterious man
"Are you really a village boy?"
Noctis was a bit surprised at the sudden change in attitude, precisely her bluntness, one of his eyebrow going up as he replied,
"If that does not bother you?"
"But why would it? So to say you don’t have anything to do with the old farts at the golden marshlands or the aristocrats surrounding the valley?"
Noctis’ expression intrigued once again at the mysterious names, but he replied negatively,
"I do not even understand what you’re referring to, in fact it’s my first time hearing about any of that."
The noble girl nodded her head seriously as she came closer towards him, until she was standing almost shoulder to shoulder.
Noctis was a bit surprised, but the most perplexed person there was actually the knight.
She observed the behaviour of Cora with interest.
Perhaps he really wasn’t connected to them, but there was a major chance he was, and was just being cautious; albeit as to why he would be flaunting his hair like that was another mystery entirely, if that was indeed the case.
But did it inquire with such bluntness? It seemed a bit careless, even for her.
She could only patiently watch her actions, unable to understand her motive.
